What Orthodontic Services Do We Provide for Hershey, PA Patients?

Our orthodontic services for the Hershey community include braces, clear aligners such as Spark (a clear alternative to Invisalign), early orthodontic treatment, teen orthodontics, adult orthodontic care, retainers, and Botox® for smile balance. Each treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs, helping you achieve a confident, healthy smile with comfort and efficiency.

Braces

Straighten your smile with modern metal or ceramic braces designed for comfort and precision. This time-tested treatment offers reliable alignment, controlled tooth movement, and lasting beautiful results for patients of all ages.

Clear Aligners (Spark)

Achieve a confident smile with nearly invisible clear aligners. Spark aligners offer a comfortable, removable alternative to braces, using advanced digital planning to deliver precise, efficient tooth movement with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

 

Facial Esthetics (Botox® for TMD and Smile Balance)

We offer Botox® to support facial esthetics and relieve symptoms related to TMD. This treatment can help reduce muscle tension, improve comfort, and enhance overall smile balance when appropriate.

Early Orthodontics

Early (Phase I) treatment helps guide jaw development and create space for incoming teeth. Addressing concerns at a younger age can simplify future treatment and support healthy, long-term outcomes.

 

Teen Orthodontics

Designed with growing smiles in mind, teen orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners focuses on alignment, bite correction, and long-term stability. Treatment options are thoughtfully selected to support lasting results, comfort, and confidence during these important years.

Adult Orthodontic Care

It’s never too late to improve your smile. Adult orthodontic treatment is tailored to your goals and lifestyle, with discreet options and efficient treatment plans designed to enhance both function and appearance.

Came to Dr. Korch for their "in house" retainers. i wore braces in middle school/high school and like many I stopped wearing my retainers at night. Fast forward last year, 34 years old and wanting to get my smile back. Dr. Korch was extremely professional with me and met me every time adjustments needed to be made or If I had any questions. I was very impressed with this because I could tell she would go out of her way to make sure I was pleased with the entire process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get teeth work done.
